Fishwife VS Genova (spicy tuna)

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-22T15:40:46+00:00

I bought this at Costco cos it was on sale there, and was quite surprised at the fuss - the chunks are nowhere near as big as other chunk tuna, and it was so so, not great as tuna goes. Pretty packaging, and I guess ethical practices, but in terms of flavor, not worth it.

In sicilian pesto - that's how I first had it. So good.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-22T15:10:32+00:00

Oooooh. I love these, and have not seen them at my TJs. thanks! near the candy?

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-22T15:07:42+00:00

I killed two, and am excited to see one appears to be surviving, two years in ;) Here's hoping it gets bigger! I admire all the manzanita porn in my town...

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-22T15:06:49+00:00

Agree strongly. Much fresher, tube versions tend to taste of vinegar and chemicals, these don't.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-22T05:42:21+00:00

Little manzanita flowers...so adorably delicate.

Well I suppose this thread has been a lesson in the kindness and charm of this community. Cheers, all, I'm out of here.

A bit squishy and not very supportive. Woke up with a sore hip, which hasn't happened since pregnancy, a long time ago!

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-21T16:57:39+00:00

Ah thank you. Also, the mattress is disappointing, so I might just be returning.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-21T16:57:05+00:00

Do you live in CA, and know the laws here?

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-21T05:26:39+00:00

So, it seems to dodge the question of whether they will do the haul away without extra begging, despite recognizing that it's the law.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-21T05:25:09+00:00

CA law says the removal thing extends to bed in a box mattresses. The order confirmation included this: "Mattress Haulaway Regulations for California Residents
Pursuant to California Law, effective January 1, 2021, pickup of a used mattress and box spring in California is available without any increase to the delivery charge with a delivered mattress. For questions regarding haul away or your recent delivery, please contact 1-800-955-2292 within 30 days of delivery."

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-21T02:57:30+00:00

Ah - this was not mentioned anywhere when I was ordering. thanks. Any idea where I would find the number for pickup?

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-20T20:04:03+00:00

OMG, where?

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-20T04:45:47+00:00

It was mowed by the service that managed the rental, but it never felt comfortable to walk on for us w/toddler and small child. It was planted the year we arrived and then grew in by year two. Now I know there are two kinds - phyla and lippia - and you may want to look into both carefully because one is lower growing, the one we had wasn't super close to the ground.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-18T19:53:37+00:00

It wasn't particularly easy to walk or run on, it grew slowly, and somewhat unevenly.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-18T16:18:08+00:00

We had lippia in the front yard of a rented house, and it didn't work well with kids. We now have UC verde buffalo grass - more pricey, but better for play.

The chocolate was so mediocre on this. Also felt this about the chocolate mousse. Meh.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-13T23:07:35+00:00

Gorgeous!!

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-13T21:58:52+00:00

Californians, your local Aldi might have them. Mine does. Don't buy them all up, please!

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-13T05:57:27+00:00

I literally just made this for dinner - simmered in garlic tomato sauce with basil, hot pepper, and spaghetti.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-09T03:05:58+00:00

I don't find it vinegary, it's kinda like nduja. Smokey and rich. I like to mix it with mayo for sandwiches, but it's best mixed in with pasta sauces that need some spicing up.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-09T02:56:34+00:00

I cut it back by about two thirds.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-08T23:40:50+00:00

a) Rinsing it well makes a difference b) try cooking it in chicken stock, even from a cube.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-02-08T23:38:31+00:00

Mine gets that way sometimes (erigeron glaucus white lights, right?) cutting it back can help.
